1. NOMINAL VOLTAGE
The Nominal voltage is to be expressed with two values of alternative current Uo/U in V (volt)
Uo/U : Phase to earth voltage
Uo : Voltage between conductor and earth
U : Voltage between phases (conductors)
2. RESISTANCE
The Values of conductor DC resistance are dependent on temperature as given by :
Rt = R20 x [l + α (t - 20)] Ω/km
Rt : conductor DC resistance at t ° C Ω/km
R20 : conductor DC resistance at 20 ° C Ω/km
t : operating temperature °C
α : resistance temperature coefficient
= 0.00393 for copper

MEDIUM VOLTAGE CABLES TECHNICAL INFORMATION
CABLE STRUCTURE
Polypropylene tape(s) or PETP (Polyester) tape(s) is used as a barrier tape over the laid
up cores. Such tape(s) will bind the cores together and prevent them from opening out,
acts as a separator between different polymers used in a cable and works as a heat
barrier between the cores and the extruded bedding.
5.0 BEDDING
Extruded bedding layer serves as a bedding under cable Armouring to protect the laid
up cores and as a separation sheath. The bedding is an extruded PVC type 9 Compound
as per BS 7655-4.2 or suitable PE type.
6.0 ARMOURING
The cable intended for tray application is protected enough and does not require armour
in general, while it is recommended to have armour for the cable intended for Direct
Burial Application. The armour provides mechanical protection against crushing forces.
Armour also can serve as an Earth Continuity Conductor (ECC). The Armouring type could
be:
6.1 One layer of Galvanized Round Steel Wire to BS EN 10257 is applied
helically over the bedding.
6.2 Double Galvanized Steel Tape applied over each other, with a suitable
overlap, one layer covers the gap of the other layer.
6.3 Aluminum wire armouring for a single core cable acts as non magnetic
armour

LTS 1 & LTS 4 to BS 7655: section 6 for cables installed in intrinsically safe
locations and where the cables require to be low smoke, low fume and low
toxic gas emitting in case of fire. Cables to this category are complying with
the requirements of BS 7835.
The standard sheath color is Black or Red which has a suitable UV proved
additive is added to ensure resistance to sunlight.
When the cable is required to ant-termite / anti-vermin, a special additive
is added to the sheathing compound.
A layer of graphite coated is applied upon customer request.
All cables produced at Bahra Cables Company with PVC or Halogen
free jackets are complying with the flame retardant test to IEC 60332-1.
Whenever a requirement for more severe tests as IEC 60332-3 is needed,
a jacketing compound with Oxygen index value more than 30% will be
used.

DRUM HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Cables and Conductors should be installed by trained personnel in accordance with good
engineering practices, recognized codes of practise, statutory local requirements, IEE wiring
regulations and where relevant, in accordance with any specific instructions issued by the
company. Cables are often supplied in heavy cable reels and handling these reels can constitute
a safety hazard. In particular, dangers may arise during the removal of steel binding straps and
during the removal of retaining battens and timbers which may expose projecting nails.
Lifting cable drums using crane. Do not lay drums flat on their sides, use proper
stops to prevent drums roling.
Secure drums adequately before transportation. Roll in the direction shown by the arrow.
115
RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR SELECTION OF CABLES
GENERAL
The cables specified in this catalog are designed to be installed in air or to be buried in free draining
soil.
Where cables are to be laid in other environments, Bahra Cables Company should be consulted.
VOLTAGE RATINGS
The rated voltage of the cable for a given application should be suitable for the operating conditions in
the system in which the cable is used. To facilitate the selection of the cable, systems are divided into
three
categories as follows:
a) Category A. This category comprises those systems in which any phase conductor that comes in
contact with earth or an earth conductor is disconnected from the system within 1 min.
b) Category B. This category comprises those systems which, under fault conditions, are operated for a
short time with one phase earthed. IEC 60183 recommends that this period should not exceed 1 h. For
cables specified in this standard, a longer period, not exceeding 8 h on any occasion, can be tolerated.
The total
duration of earth faults in any year should not exceed 125 h.
c) Category C. This category comprises all systems which do not fall into categories A or B.
NOTE In a system in which an earth fault is not automatically and promptly isolated, the extra stresses
on the insulation of cables during the earth fault might reduce the life of the cables. If the system is
expected to be operated fairly often with a permanent earth fault, it might be advisable to classify the
system as category C.
Table 1 gives the lowest rated voltage of cable that should be used according to the system voltage and
category.
116
The nominal system voltage, U, given in Table 1 is the nominal voltage between phases.
The maximum sustained system voltage, Um, is the highest voltage between phases that can
be sustained under normal operating conditions at any time and at any point in the system. It
excludes transient voltage variations, due, for example, to lightning impulses, fault conditions
and rapid disconnection of loads.
The nominal system voltages shown in Table 1 are generally in accordance with series 1 as
given in IEC 60038:2002. For system voltages intermediate between the values in Table 1, the
cable should be selected with a rated voltage not less than the next highest value (e.g. for a
13.8 kV system of category A or B, the cable should have a rated voltage not less than 8.7/15
kV and for a 13.8 kV system of category C, not less than 12.7/22 kV).
METALLIC COVERINGS
All the cable designs in this standard include metallic coverings surrounding the cores individually
which is
intended to be earthed when the cables are in use.
Advice on the most suitable type and cross-sectional area of metallic screen for a particular
application and short circuit requirement has to be requested from Bahra Cable Company.
It is not envisaged that such a test would be needed unless it was also intended to apply a
voltage test to the oversheath after the cable had been laid, to confirm that the oversheath had
not been substantially damaged during installation or to detect such damage as might have
occurred in order to enable repairs to be made.
A d.c. voltage test on the oversheath might be necessary in the following situations:
a) when the oversheath is required to perform an insulating function during the operation of the
cable. This applies when the method of bonding of the metallic screens of single-core cables is
designed to eliminate induced circulating currents, but gives rise to standing voltages between
the metallic screens of the cables of the different phases.
b) when damage to the oversheath is likely to lead to corrosion of an essential metallic layer
which it protects, due to an environment aggressive to the particular metal.
Standardized current rating data for the cables are specified as per Bahra Cables Company
catalog.
NOTE: Owing to the relatively high conductor temperature, there is a risk of buried cables drying out the surrounding
soil causing an increase in thermal resistivity which in turn would lead to the cable temperature rising to a higher value
than anticipated. For cable to be laid directly in the ground, a de-rating factor should be applied or a lower maximum
sustained conductor operating temperature should be assumed, to take into account the possible effect of soil drying out.
NOTE: The performance of accessories should be taken into account in deciding the operating temperature of the cable.

RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR INSTALLATION OF CABLES
MINIMUM TEMPERATURE DURING INSTALLATION
It is recommended that the cables specified in this standard be installed only when both the cable
and ambient temperatures are above 0oC and have been so for the previous 24 h, or where special
precautions have
been taken to maintain the cable above this temperature.
Where bends in the cables are positioned adjacent to joints or terminations the minimum bending
radius may be reduced to that given in the below table provided that the bending is carefully controlled,
e.g. by the use of a former.
Table-3: Bending radius during installation for cables adjacent to joints or terminations
Type of cable Minimum bending radius
Single core 12D
Three core 10D
NOTE: D is the overall diameter of the cable.
The possibility of damage to moisture seals during handling and installation or during storage of the
cable should be borne in mind. Where such damage might have occurred, the seals should be inspected
and remade if necessary.
118
With all the cables specified in this catalog, it is important to ensure that the semi-conducting
insulation screen is removed from the core(s) and any remaining semi-conducting coating
or semiconducting particles are thoroughly removed before application of the stress control
components, which may be made up of:
Compound filling
For compound filled joints, the design of the box and the composition of the filling compound
should be such as to provide an effective seal to prevent moisture gaining access to the conductor
ferrules and armour connections. The filling compound should be compatible with the materials
of the cable components with which it comes into contact. Account should be taken of the
pouring temperatures and the temperatures resulting from any exothermic reactions.
For terminations, provided that adequate clearances are maintained between phases and
between each phase and earth, compound filling is not necessary. The minimum clearances
should be related to the voltage and category of the system and to the environmental conditions.
Guidance on minimum clearances can be obtained from the relevant equipment standards.
Where the required clearances cannot be achieved, some other effective means of insulation
should be provided.
Special precautions may be necessary to eliminate the risk of corrosion, especially corrosion
due to the use of dissimilar metals.
Care should be taken with single-core cables to ensure that the bonding and earthing
arrangements are adequate to cater for circulating currents in the armour and screen(s).
By agreement between the purchaser and the contractor, an a.c. voltage test in accordance
with IEC 60060-3 and in accordance with item a), b) or c) as below may be used:
b) test for 24 h with the normal rated voltage;
A.C. Testing:
If an a.c. voltage test at power frequency has been agreed, this should be performed using one
of the following methods.
a) Test for 15 min with the phase-to-phase voltage U, at a frequency between 20 Hz to 300 Hz
shall be applied between the conductor and the metal screen/sheath;
b) The cable should be tested for 24 h with the normal operating voltage U0 of the system.
c) test for 15 min with the RMS rated voltage value of 3 U0 at a frequency of 0,1 Hz applied
between the conductor and the metal screen/sheath
D.C. Testing:
If a d.c. voltage test has been agreed, a d.c. test voltage equal to 4U0 should be applied for 15
min. No breakdown of the insulation should occur.
NOTE: A d.c. test can endanger the insulation system under test. Other methods are under consideration.
For installations which have been in use, lower voltages and/or shorter durations may be used. Values
should be negotiated, taking into account the age, environment, history of breakdowns and the purpose of
carrying out the test.
A d.c. voltage of 8 kV should be applied for 1 min between the semi-conducting layer and the
oversheath. No breakdown of the oversheath should occur.

GUIDE
TO USE OF CABLES
CABLE SELECTION IN RELATION TO INSTALLATION DESIGN
• The cables specified in this catalog are intended to be used for the supply of electrical energy up to
the rated voltage indicated on the cable. The voltage ratings of the cables specified in this standard
are listed in Table 1. These voltages should not be exceeded.
• These cables are intended for use at a nominal power frequency range of 49 Hz to 61 Hz.
• There are several aspects which need to be taken into account relating to the ability of the cable to
withstand the worst anticipated fault condition of the system, as follows:
1. In a solidly or directly earthed system, in general the earth fault current is at least equal to the
three-phase or phase-to-phase fault current.
2. When an earth fault current is specified for a system, it is necessary to ensure that the phase
conductor of the cable selected has a corresponding earth fault capacity.
3. This catalog specifies different forms of metallic screen having different earth fault capacities. In
general, copper tape screen has a lower earth fault current capacity than standard copper wire
screen.
4. It is essential that connections at joints between, and terminations onto, metallic elements carrying
fault currents to earth have an earth fault capacity at least equal to that of the metallic elements.
• The possible effects of transient over-voltages should be recognized as they can be detrimental to
cables.
• In cases of doubt as to the suitability of cables specified in this catalog for a particular use, further
specific information should be obtained from Bahra Cables Company.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
• Cables should be provided with protection against mechanical damage appropriate to the type of
cable and the installation conditions.
• Cables specified in this catalog, when installed in vertical bunches, can propagate fire, and when
exposed to fire can produce harmful smoke and effluents.
• Cables can be damaged by exposure to corrosive substances or solvents, including petroleum based
vapours.
• Cables specified in this catalog are not specifically designed for the following:
1. For use as self supporting aerial cables
2. For use as submarine cable or for laying in waterlogged conditions
3. For use in situations where subsidence is likely, unless special precautions are taken to minimize
damage if subsidence should occur
4. For use in situations where they could be exposed to excessive heat.
• If the cables specified in this standard are exposed to localized heat, solar radiation or high temperature
ambient conditions, this reduces the current carrying capacity.
• The cable sheathing components can be provided with protection against damage by rodents,
termites, etc if agreed prior to order and included in product data sheet.
• Loaded cables can have a high surface temperature which requires protection to be provided against
accidental contact.
120
Installation
• Precautions should be taken to avoid mechanical damage to the cables before and during
installation.
• Exceeding Bahra Cables Company recommended maximum pulling tensions should be
avoided as this can result in damage to the cable.
• If cables are to be installed in ducts, the correct size of duct should be used.
• The type of jointing and filling compounds employed should be chemically compatible with
the cable materials.
• The cable support system should be such as to avoid damage to the cables.
• Cables specified in this catalog are designed for fixed installations only; they are not intended
for use as, for example, trailing or reeling cables.
• Repeated over-voltage testing can lead to premature failure of the cable.
• The selection of cable glands, accessories and any associated tools should take account of all
aspects of intended use. Any semi-conducting coating present on the oversheath should be
removed for a suitable distance from joints and terminations.
• Care should be exercised with single-core cables to ensure that the bonding and earthing
arrangements are adequate to cater for circulating currents in the armour and screen(s).
• Cable drums should be regularly inspected during storage to assess their physical condition.
• Battens, wooden fiber or plastic cover , where applied, should not be removed from the
drums until the cable is about to be installed.
• When handling drums, precautions should be taken to avoid injury. Due regard should be
given to the weight of the drums, the method and direction of rolling, the method of lifting,
and any protruding nails or splinters.
• Drums should be protected from the weather so as to avoid deterioration. Care should be
taken that drums are not left anywhere where they could be a hazard to the public.
Incineration of scrap cable should only be undertaken by a licensed contractor and following the
country / authority rules. For further information, the Environment Agency should be contacted.
